RIVIÈRE-DU-LOUP, LA. French-Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB'. Rivière-du-Loup [1] is a town located on the east bank of the St. Lawrence river, above Quebec City. The tune was one of ten sides recorded by fiddler Fortunat Malouin (1870-1935) for Columbia records in New York in 1928, accompanied by his daughter on piano. He also recorded some sides for the Starr label in Montreal. Originally from St-Sauveur, Quebec, he learned music from his mother. As an adult Malouin was a traveling salesman based in Quebec City. There is a record of a Canadian patent for a milk-pail and strainer combination [2] devised by a Fortunat Malouin of Quebec, Canada, and it is possible the inventor and fiddler were the same person.
Malouin had an improvisatory style, varying his melody lines and inventing new tunes on the spot. Fiddler Jos Bouchard () popularized some of his compositions in the 1940s.
